HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Michael Lundy, executive director of the Huntsville Housing Authority, told his board of directors on Monday night that there are no plans to back out of the purchase of Stone Manor Luxury Apartments in south Huntsville in response to public outcry.

Lundy said the authority hopes to use small, scattered apartments to "deconcentrate poverty" in Huntsville.
